u/ResumeFluffer

I don't know what else to do. It took almost a year to get this job, and it was the best of a lot of other shitty options, which feels like it's the case everywhere? I'm fucking sick of trying so hard for nothing and next to nothing. But I have to keep trying because that's life, right? :sigh:

I thought people understood me and appreciated my sense of humor, but it seems other people think I'm being serious wrote a lot when I'm not. Maybe I just have too good a poker face?

This local stuff doesn't seem great and is really disorganized. I just want to know what other people get out of their membership, today, without so many trolls, and without having to drive three hours only to find nobody else showed.

I finally have a job I think I like and could possibly do long term (after a lifetime--1984--of trying to do what others expected of me, and/or whatever it took to get by) working for a company that seems to actually care about people.

Ish. I'm working for a sub contractor or whatever. So there is no training. Which seems to be the norm these days, as opposed to 20 years ago when you spent days or sometimes weeks training and watching videos and role playing...

Now they sort of just throw you in there and expect you to immediately understand everything and figure it out. So that sucks, but if I stick with it, I could potentially transfer to another place if I wanted to because corporations and whatnot. Or at least it seems.

Idk. I'm obviously still trying to figure out it. What's your preferred trade? Is it the same as your favorite job you've had? Who was your best boss?

Entry. Job. I've. Had. Seems to be trying to nickel and dime people in some way or other. And I've had a lot of jobs. There is no loyalty from any of them, no matter how good you might be at what you do. You're expendable. A number.

Unfortunately I need a paycheck. So at least I found something I can tolerate for a rate I can handle. So what if there's no HR? Lol who needs humans that never represented more cared about you in the first place.

Seriously, is working for yourself the only way to stay sane? Or do Average Joe's have any other chance of anything better than entirely miserable solely to feed the machine?

Of perhaps, what is something you wish you could tell another generation from your perspective or your generation's perspective?

Banks and credit unions in the US pay FT employees hourly up to 40 hours, then OT for anything over 40, sometimes holiday pay, etc. They usually start you w/2 wks PTO and 10 paid holidays/yr, then if you stay, you get more weeks of PTO.

I don't understand salaried positions other than job security and usually better pay. This time at the expense of my lunch hour...thus in my mind creating 5 hours of unpaid labor every week for 52 weeks.

I'm grateful to have finally found a job with what seemed like it was going to be decent pay, but I want to make sure I negotiate fairly.

I've noticed the stray nipple hairs show up wherever tf they want now. And other hairs. In places they usedn't to be. They're a mustache that I sand away when I feel especially self-conscious. I don't mind the strays. Or the stache. I ought to start naming them all.

But the butthole hairs... I'm actually considering let someone apply wax and yank it away from my bung just to see if it's any more comfortable than the brillocheek sandwich I'm currently working with. Or has it always been that way, and I just didn't know? I wonder who I could ask. Kidding. But serious about that wax. Jfc.

Could be fun. Help save a company with a fifty (or however many) dollar investment that you might (read: should--I'm no sort of professional) see returns on.

I have no affiliation with them and have had a hard time trying to invest while having morals. This company seems to trying to do right, even though they're not perfect.

Feel free to tell me all the reasons it's a bad idea. I'm new here.
